Popular Science.

'sSnail's pace'' is no longer an indefinite
term. 1t has been ascertained that snail
can crawl mile in fourteen days.
In Paris the authorities are considering
the question of allowing the use of gas
motors in theatres to drive dynamos for the
production of electric lights.
The amount Of force exerted by heat and
cold in expansion and contraction of metal
is equal to that which would be required to
stretch or compress it to the same extent by
mechanical means.
Tin or ENC is sometimes nailed over the
ends of large timbers where they are ex-
posed to the weather, such as railroad
bridges, etc. A heavy coat of tar applied
to the end before putting the zinc on will
be decided Improvement.
A lens which magnifies, and yet is per-
fectly fiat on both sides, is scientific nov

The lens consists of single disk, the density
of which varies so that its refractory power
decreases regularly from the surface in

According to DR.. Lucien Howe, who read
a paper on the increase of blindness in the
United States at the last meeting of the
American Association for She Advancement
of Science. the population of this country
increased 80 per cent. from 1870 to 1880, and
blindness increased during the same period
40 per cent until now we have with us
$4,000 blind. Contagion and immigration
are set down as among the chief causes.
II is the testimony of hfe-savers at the
sea-beach that women drown quicker than
men. They keep their mouths open when
they are under water, thus allowing their
lungs to be filled, and they are not so strong
as men. They are harder to save, because
they invariably clutch for a rescuers hands
and cling to them as long as they can. Their
clutch, too, is tighter than that OF man.
Tho difference is not explained.

Homemade Fertilizers.

Mr.. w. j. Chamberlain, President of the
Iowa Agricultural College, stated in an ar
ticle in the Country Gen tLenldn some time
ago that Mr.. T. B. Terry, of Ohio, made
from fifty head of cattle in five months a
manure pile of 600 tons, worth $2,664, at a
cost of 1904 for ashes, muck, etc. With
the aid of such fertilizers Mr. Terry brought
his little farm of so acres from a state of
extreme poverty to one of such high fertility
that phosphates failed to show any benefit
how, by those same agencies, he raised crops
of from 80 to 40 bushels of wheat and from
200 to 800 bushels of potatoes per acre;
enabling him to lift a large Indebtedness
from the farm, build substantial improve
ments and buy all needed farm machinery
manure) the ground became so stored with
fertility, needing only clover and tillage to
develop, that even the owner and improver
began to place tillage as first and manure as
secondary. In one of the papers Mr.. Terry
carefully estimates the cost of making
water-tight stables, wheeling the manure
from thence to the yard, together with
hauling it from there and building the
compost heap. He calculates it to be less
than 500 per year, which is certainly a
small amount to pay for so valuable re-
suit. Even if only one-half of the esti-
mated value is returned to the crops of the
rotation, and if half of that value would
have been saved under common manage
ment, $500 returned for 500 expended is
still very good investment.

Rotation of Crops,

In a circular of Prof. Sanborn, which is
quoted by the Philadelphia Record, it is
stated that rotations are valuable because
plants vary in the area of the soil in which
the roots grow, and from which they derive
the sustenance of the plant, thus more COM
pletely utilizing the So; within their reach.
There is a remarkable variation in the power
of plants to appropriate the various elements
of plant growth, due, at least in part, to the
character of the acids secreted by their
roots. Thus one plant, like clover, has a
high power of gathering nitrogen and an
other, like wheat, very low power Plants
vary in their weight of roots. AS an illus
tration clover, carrying several times the
weight of roots that wheat does, it will be
seen that inasmuch as clover roots are very
much richer in nitrogen than wheat and
carry enough nitrogen to grow a crop of
wheat, wheat will most advantageously fol-
low clover. Thus, likewise, other plants
follow each other advantageously. Rotation
of crops battles, in a large measure, the root
enemies, both insect and fungus, that prey
upon them. Each plant having its own
peculiar enemies, changing of plants re-
moves them to fields unoccupied by such
enemies. This is true of the above-ground
growth of plants to an important degree
Plants vary in the amounts of the vary
ing elements of nutrition actually taken up
in growth; thus, while wheat takes only IL
pound of potash for every pound of phos-
phoric acid, potatoes take 81 pounds of
potash for each pound of phosphoric acid.
Continuous growth of potatoes would ex-
haust the potash of the soil or of supplied
manure long before the phosphoric acid
would give out. The leaves of plants vary
in their power of gaining food and of va
porizing water, and are roughly divided
into broad and narrowleaved. Leaves vary
in their season of active growth. Those
plants maturing in midsummer and early
fall generally gather nitrogen corn and
turnips are good examples, following in
their growth the decomposing influence of
the sun more easily and fully than other
crops do. Rotation conserves soil fertility,
and yet aids in soil decomposition by alter
nation of grass or cover crops and hoed
crops. Under a continuation of pillow and
tillage crops, teaching, volatization and
washing of fertility is rapid and may be or
is more than carried away by crops, espe-
cially so of nitrogen. Rotation of crops
distributes labor over the year and there
foreeconomizes labor and gives regular help
and aids in the solution of the labor prob
lem of the farm.

AS rule sweet potatoes ought to be har-
vested as soon as fully matured, though
very general practice is to begin digging
the tubers directly after the first frost If
there should be any doubt as to whether
the potatoes are fully ripe or not, cut open
a few specimens. If the cut dries white the
tubers are ready to harvest; if dark, they
ought to be left in the ground little longer
Where one has a potato digger this is used
but harvesting the crop is oftenest done with
a turning plow.
In storing sweet potatoes, no matter by
what mode, an all-important point in their
keeping is dryness and protection from
undue cold, with some means of ventilation
at the same time In the South usual
plan is to bury the potatoes in heaps or
banks. Large growers in colder climates
use houses made with double walls inclos-
ing packing of sawdust,

or in rows four feet apart A ton of good
fertilizer was we'll worked into 2,700 hills.
The first week of February the seeds were
planted. The March freeze scorched many

Facts About Fruit Trees.

Mr. p j. Berckmans, who owns a nursery
OF 200 acres of fruit and ornamental trees
near Augusta, Ca, and is perhaps the best
known horticulturist in the South, says:
The most desirable soil for fruit trees is a
rich loan, naturally dry or made so by
drainage. Sow cowpeas in the spring and
turn them under with a two-horse pillow fol-
lowed by subsoil pillow during July, Au-
gust or September. Lay off the rows at the
required distances and dig holes two feet
square and two deep. Fill the holes by
breaking in the sides, commencing at the
bottom and going upwards. Use surface
soil In filing up, and with this mix shovel
full or two of cotton seed and stable manure
compost well ripened or composted Avoid
the contact of roots with heating manures.
For this climate, says Mr.. BerclImans
experience has taught us that one-year old
trees, of thrifty growth, are the most de-
sirable. Give as many sound roots to a tree
and as little head as possible We prefer to
cut away every branch, leaving the body
two feet high, and to allow the tree to form
its head in its permanent place rather than
in the nursery row.
Before planting remove all broken roots
Cut back one-year-old peach or apple trees
to naked stem two to three feet high 4;
leave no side branches. Two-year-old trees
should have their branches cut back to half
their length or more, the lower less than
those above, cutting in shorter as you go
upward and leave the leader the longest.
Plant as deep as the tree was standing in
the nursery row, except the dwarf pears
and cherries, which should be planted suffi-
GENTLY deep to cover the stock from two to
three inches
In this climate about latitude 1922 vege-
tation although inactive in winter for the
formation of leaves and new wood, is never
so as to new roots. A tree transplanted in
November or December will, by the ensuing
spring, have formed sufficient new roots to
give it firm hold in the ground, and will
grow off rapidly when active vegetation
commences. Plant as early after the first
killing frost as practicable and do not delay
it until the spring months. Apple trees can
be transplauted as late as March, and in
some seasons until April L; but success is
increased if the planting has been done in
the fall or early winter.

Rival Rraeds of Cattle.

Mr.. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadel-
phia Record, has the finest herd of Holstein
cattle in the United States and is naturally
partial to that breed. In a recent article in
his paper it is claimed that the question of
superiority in the production of butter be-
tween the Holstein and the Jersey is still
disputed one, the Jerseys, however, having
become famous through the records of such
noted cows as Eurotas, Bomba, Jersey Belle,
Princess H. Mary Anne of st. Lamberts and
others, but as each animal of a breed must
stand upon its individual merits there are
hundreds of inferior Jerseys, as well as
large number that are first-class. Records
show the tendency of breed to excel in the
direction intended, and, though the little
Jerseys are grand butter COWS, yet there are
other records which point to rivals that not
only equal them in butter production but
exceed them in the yield of milk. The
largest record for butter in ninety days 1904
pounds SD ounces was made by a Holstein-
Friesian, and a COW only % months old,
Netherland Princess w., made 81 pounds
1917 ounces in a week. As 3-year-old
Albius II. produced "A pounds 10l16 ounces
in a week, Thile three cows have in thirty
days produc - over 100 pounds of butter
each, and fifty COWS can show a record of
over 20 pounds per week. A large number
of COWS from the Holstein breed have been
privately tested that have produced from
II to % pounds per week. Twice the Hol-
stems have beaten the Jerseys in public
tests at Chicago for the challenge cup with
Mercedes, a'd at the recent dairy show in
New York city. At the late Ohio fair also,
where the breeds competed, the Holsteins
won on buth-; and milk production, and the
Jerseys were oncesbeaten at Minneapolis by
the Holsteins, the latter having won all the
prizes offered These records show that
while the Holstein yields a larger quantity
of milk than any other breed of dairy cows
it is not a chance butter cow, relying ON a
few individual cows to bolster the reputa-
tion Of the whole, and that herds of Hol-
stems are well known by those interested
that consist entirely of cows capable of
making excellent records in a public test.
The public tests of butter cows in which the
Hoisteins and Jerseys should meet and COM
pete would be productive of great benefit,
as they could not fail to bring both breeds
to higher standard of excellence They
would stimulate the breeders to excel and
Che cattle of the whole country would
thereby be improved, No one is disposed
to deny that the Jersey is entitled to high
rank as butter producing animal, but the
Holstein breeders will not submit to the
Jerseys claim as the only butter producing
cow The Jersey must meet the Holstein in
public tests and demonstrate the claim by
The amount of its product.
